I've always said in my reviews, watch the first episode of any anime series and if it doesn't grab you and make you want to watch the next episode, then its a good bet its not for you. But Guilty Crown, oh wow, i didnt think that i would encounter an anime that will be able to grab me with the first 30 seconds of the anime.
I am both saddened, and happy at the outcome of this. Happy because i have found an anime that is looking more like its going to be added to my list of all time favorites, saddened because the anime is still ongoing. I only start watching anime when the series is over, i really do hate waiting week after week for the next episode. But when i was just reviewing the animes that just came out and i was downloading, i never thought that watching the first minute of this anime would end me finishing the entire epsode.
For the basic review, i have only watch the first episode and i had given this anime a 10 across the board. Of course this will change as the anime progresses. I really hope that what i saw in the first episode continues on the succeeding episodes.
I had described this anime as Epic, primarily because it is. From what i can tell its your basic story plot, great crisis, and a boy coming to age to save or help out. But what makes this First episode Epic, is undoubtedly the music. ITs the first 4 min of this anime and the last 4 that are the biggest scenes in this episode. The rest is there to continue the story, and introduction of characters, backgrounds to the story ect. But the music is the biggest draw to this, especially the last 2 min of the episode.
If i would compare it, it is like watching the cut scenes of any final fantasy game for the first time. Extravagant scenes, or touching scenes that has the greatest accompaniment of music. If you didnt like this one, well all i can say is were really not compatible with out likes in anime, so why are you reading this?... lol
